CoMBaT

Resources required

This section includes the list of all the hardware resources that would be needed to operate the product/project successfully.

• Myo band

• CoMBaT application

Description of Resource:

CoMBaT is a Myo band-based system, which processes and plots the sensor data patterns of badminton shot for reviewing the muscular effort and arm swing.

Myo armband is a gesture recognition device, manufactured by Thalmic Labs, which senses the variations in electrical conductivity during muscle activities of the players. It generates wireless electromyography (EMG) signals and internal measurement unit (IMU) data in real-time, via Bluetooth, to sense muscular activity when applying the effort and acceleration experienced by the arm while executing the swing, respectively.

CoMBaT application running on the computer reads the IMU sensor data and EMG data using the Myo band application program interface (API). It enables the visualization of the sensor data patterns of muscular effort and arm swing. It further analyses the shots, and provides a marker-based corrective real-time visual and haptic feedback, instructing the haptic vibration motor of the Myo band.
